GENERAL REMARKS The general market
was very quiet last week The cold and wet
weather during the week rather retarded
trade in pretty much all departments. The
volume Of business shows no Improvement
and the movement was everywhere light .
There were few features in the general mar
ket of interest, and no price changes of i'm
portance, except the advance in
coffee and bacon There was
fairly steady demand in the grocery
trade and good shipping business was had.
In other branches of the jobbing trade little
can be said "a there was only very small
business going on, buyers having apparently
mo- recovered from the effects OF the recent
holidays. Collections were very slow. The
money market was quiet and easy. The
security market was comparatively dull,
and there was nothing n the market of
special feature except the recent contest for
Central railroad control. Central stock YVES
rather weak and fell on several points. The
appended review will show the tone and lat
est quotations Of the different markets at the
closing to-day:
NAVAL STOREs-There was a fair inquiry
Tor spirits turpentlne, while prices for the
most part were firm and steadily advanced
until W wednesday, when SIC. was reached. The
market then became easier and prices fell of
slightly, closing firm at CSC. for regulars. The
total sales for the,week were about 800 casks.
kosln-The market was somewhat irregular
and unsettled, opening the week with
prices firm anu higher Tor the
common grades and closing easier
at Il slight decline. There was a good steady
demand throughout the week but the cold
weather lntCrfered with sampllng, and the
consequence was very small stock was

being thereby driven of on some ur
republican tangent the policy 81
the Republicans should be to make the
most of this aid and comfort in pushing
their cause. This is by no means the first
time that the Democracy has been forced
by the logic OF events to take the ground
previously and still occupied bv the Re-
publican party.
$40 know what the Republican posi-
ton on the tariff and the surplus is one
need not consult cablegrsm from Paris
or any other foreign city. Neither can the
editorial columns of any monopoly trust
newspaper make the platform Of the
party and determine what loyalty to it
requires. All that was done in Chicago
esrly in the summer OF 1884"
The Democrats are moving slowly and
cautiously, not to say half heartedly. II
they do lot keep their eyes open they may
presently discover their Republican OPP
ponerts figuring as tariff reformers and
carrying off the glory and possibly the
profits of the campaign.
It is down here no longer G question
whether there shall be tariff changes, but
which party shall get the credit Of max
ing them and relieving the country.

The report on entomology made by W
B. Atwood to the Columbus Horticultural
Society last winter states that many rem
edies were employed on the two described
cabbage WOE consisting Of alum water
of different degrees OF strength, tansy
water, tomato water, benZine, coal Oil
emulsions CT different strengths, Ham
mond's slug shot, cayenne pepper, half 8
dozen remedies from England, sew
eral preparations of tobacco soap
and pyrethrum. None proved OF
any value except the tobacco soaps and
pyrethrum. TIE tobacco soaps prepared
with potash were quite efficient, the value
OF which was sscribed TO the potash.
Pyrethrum is recommended as the best
remedy, being perfectly safe, easy CT sp-
plication, and more deadly on the worms
than any remedy used. Powder Of good
quality mixed with three times its bulk
of -four was found perfectly effective, ap-
piled with q dpstirg bellows. Oae
pound, costing 80 cents, is enough to
cover an acre if properly handled.

suffocation while asleep is great danger

AUSTIN, TEX, Dec. 30.-A state paper
last week alluded to the non-payment OF
the teachers OF the public schools IS the
result of q mistaken apportionment OF
the state school board under Governor
Ireland, the state now being behind with
the teachers nearly 100000 'Ex-
Governor Ireland took exceptions to this
and wrote Comptroller Mccall for the
facts in the case and his explanation OF
the non-payment Of the teachers. To-
dsv Comproiler Mccall addressed re-
ply to Ex-Governor Ireland at Seguln, re-
viewing the avilable school fund since
1885, closing IS follows:
The following extract from my annual
report which will very soon be puollsneo
and copy OF which will be promptly
forwarded TO your address, will give you
nv views with respect to the status CT
the available school fund. Table No

$3.50 63, compared TO the Balance

The small balance in the state treasury
August 81, 1887, does not represent the
true condition of this fund. There vera
outstanding Of that date registered war
rants drawn against the available school
fund amounting in round numbers to
$500, 600. Thus you will observe that The
bepinufng Of each fiscal year finds the
available school 1und getting further be-
hind. This is due in some measure to
the fact that q large portion of
the receipts from the intere 81 on land
notes and from leases and school lands
does not reach the State Treasury within
the year for which suc1 resources are ap-
portioned. This is especially true OF the
estimate Of receipts for the past year'
The estimate msde on July 10, 1886, was
as follows: Interest on land sales,
$500. 600; land sales and leases, $500, 600
Total, $500, 600; while the ac.usl receipts
were only little in excess OF 5000, GOO
will state IN conclusion
that the deferred payments OF teachers
vouchers arise from the fact that the
estimate upon which the spporsionments
have heretofore been made have been
based upon funds to come into the Treas

BALTIMORE, Md, Dec. 30.-The Manu-

it's annual review of the Industrial growth
of the south IN 1887, which il says wss in
many respects remarkable year in the
history of that section, as more was &C
complished for the progress and pros
perity of the whole south than ever be-
fore in the same length of time. From
Msryland to Texas the progress was
remarkable, covering almost the entire
range OF industry, and there is scarcely a
single line of manufacturing or mining
business in which the number OF new en-
terprises reported during 1887 is not
more than twice as large as in 1886. OF
fourteen southern states, there are only
four in which the capital invested n new
enterprises is not double the amount in
vested Isst yesr. The amount CT capital,
including thecspital stock of incorporated
companies organized during 1887, com.
pared with 1886, Wes:

Roburite, says Industries, promises to
displace all other explosives now used in

highly satisfactory. "In what is usually

ire-damp, we understand there WAS
no ignition. Underground, both in
coal end stone, it gave results equsI IL
power TO ordinary blasting gelatine, while
there was not so much small ceal as with
gelatine and dynamite. Probably it is
not widely known that roourite is an in
vention due partially TO the seton OF the
Austrian government, which in 1882
eff red prizes for the safest mining explo-
sives. Roburite, Csrbonite and securite
were three out CT twenty which were
fsvorably reported Upon, and the former
appears to be the most satisfactory.

a City of the Sea-.

a city at the bottom Of the sea was
seen toward the end of October, near
Treptow, in Prussia, when & powerful
south wind blew the waters Of the Baltic
away from the shore, uncovering s. por-
ton Of ground usually hidden from sight
by the waves. IL was the ruins of the
city of Resamuende, once Furnishing
commercial station, which was swallowed
by the sea some five centuries ago. The
unusual spectacle Was enjoyed fer only q
few hours, when the storm slackened and
the waves returned to cover up the plsca
which had once been the residence apd
field of labor of busy men.
